I took two private whitewater kayaking lessons with Sam over two days. He is an excellent instructor that I would highly recommend for any skill level. Sam has an extremely keen way of balancing progression in skills by offering challenges with positive experiences and encouragement...More

We've done lots of kayaking and flat water kayaking before but not really white water kayaking. I am very glad we picked the lower level as I might have panicked the whole way down if it was harder!
My husband and I shared an inflatable...More

My husband and I went on the Willamette Falls kayaking trip with our 4 kids and my dad. It was great. We paddled past 2 sea lions and saw the historic Oregon City Locks. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, it goes past...More

We've rented SUPs from eNRG many times and really enjoy this area of the Willamette.
eNRG is very helpful with paddling advice particularly if you rent at non-peak hours.
Tried SUP yoga with them for the first time this weekend. Katarina is an excellent instructor...More

We were disappointed in the Willamette Falls kayak tour. From the description, we pictured a river out in nature. Large industrial sights line the river for a good part of the trip. In fact, the falls sit right at the end of all these places....More

Sorry you were disappointed with the trip. As the origin of much of Oregon's history, its the "historic" element that seems to be the biggest draw for this tour. Hopefully our guides gave you some insight into those elements and you gained an appreciation for...More

We made a last minute request for kayak instruction. Sam went out of his way to arrange transportation, provide us with two very experienced instructors, and accommodate our schedule so we could learn to kayak on the Santiam river. Great location. Great Service. Thanks!

The guide was really nice. He was new to Oregon so we didn't get much of a history lesson, which we didn't mind because we had lived in Oregon for years. We pretty much just paddled up to the falls, took pictures and came back;...More

Saturday did the 90 minute Kayak tour and had so much fun. Highly recommend for locals or tourists. Brendan our guide was awesome the Falls were amazing, and learned so much about the history in the area. Gorgeous day to be on the water! They...More

My husband and I did the 90 minute kayak trip. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable.
Neither of us had kayaked before and I was a bit nervous. Safety was a priority and equipment was in good condition. From the time I got in the kayak...More

We usually wear shorts and t-shirts. I have kayaked barefoot and with waterproof sandals. Either way is fine. Do not wear jeans. If you have clothes that are quick dry, they are good to wear as you will get wet. Wear sunscreen. You can take a water bottle. I usually use a carabiner clip to clip my car key to my shorts. Otherwise, the staff will let you leave valuables at the check in counter. We just lock everything else in the car. Oh, and wear a baseball cap or hat of some sort. That's about it. Good luck and have fun!
